Description: Join Owning the Dash, a professional development opportunity for K-5 teachers and elementary librarians. This workshop will introduce educators to the DASH Financial Literacy Kit, a dynamic resource designed to make teaching financial concepts fun and interactive. Participants will learn how to use award-winning picture books and interactive learning tools, including the Spending Shuffle card game, to teach children key financial principles like budgeting, supply and demand, scarcity, and delayed gratification. The lessons have also been aligned with state economics standards. Attendees will receive their own Financial Literacy Kit – a $150 value – including six picture books, lesson plans, video guides, discussion questions, and more, all neatly organized in a colorful, durable storage box. Space is limited so sign up today!
